Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Aspire Defence Capital Works to undertake a programme of archaeological investigations within Larkhill, military camp, as part of the Army Basing Programme (ABP). The ABP will aim for better utilisation of the UK estate and greater concentration of the Army on Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA). The ABP works proposed within the military camps at Bulford, Larkhill, Perham Down and Tidworth will entail a major programme of new construction and the reconfiguration and refurbishment of existing facilities. The programme of archaeological works consisted of: An archaeological evaluation of Areas 2001, 2007, 2009 and 2012. An archaeological watching brief of Areas 2002 and 2003. An archaeological strip, map and record of Area 2016. Trenches in Area 2007 revealed the remains of wall footings, understood to relate to a structure depicted on a 1948 Ordnance Survey (OS) plan. An earlier OS plan dating to 1925-26, shows the building did not exist at this point, suggesting the structure was built around the time of the Second World War. The excavation in Area 2016 revealed evidence of Middle Neolithic and Beaker activity was identified in the form of numerous pits and two inhumations. Radiocarbon analysis has provided a Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date range for one of the inhumations. Dating for these features also came in the form of pottery; namely Middle Neolithic Peterborough Wares and Beaker ceramics. Part of an undated but probably prehistoric roundhouse was exposed. No other archaeologically significant features or deposits were identified during the works.
